That may have been the worst final 15 seconds I've seen in a long time.

- miss a free throw
- other team gets rebound
- give up a nearly uncontested layup (fouling would have been much better)
- Shoot your desperation shot about 2 seconds too soon

:oops:

Recruiting. I think Prohm recruits extremely well. Some times players just have bad games or even bad seasons.

When you have talent you need to win. It's that simple. He didn't have the talent last year because of a combination of failed recruiting between him and Fred. There are no excuses this year. He needs to get the kids on the same page and win games. That is what we pay him over 2 million a year to do.

Funny thing is Kansas went on the road and won on Wednesday to a solid TCU team, and we can't beat an average at best Baylor team, or K-State team at home.

Funny thing is Kansas went on the road and lost on Saturday to a "crappy" ISU team and we can't beat a solid at worst KSU team.... blahblahblah

Prohm continues to be a bottom half coach in this conference. He can get the dudes but Is maybe the worst in the conference with strategy. Doesnt seem to understand momentum (rotations), how to take advantage of mismatches, or draw up out of bounds plays. “Give the ball to X and have X make a play” isn’t a winning strategy.


I agree "Malone" one hundred percent......

$@#$ you loser, you want to continue to watch train wrecks like this?

Go blow it out your a$$ troll boy. You have clearly hated Prohm from the very beginning and made up your mind to never even give him a fair chance. Do not deny that: I am smarter than you and my memory is better.

Of course I'm not happy with the game today you dumbsh!t. Never should have even been in a position to lose. But even good teams will sometimes lose games they have no business losing, whether it's missed free throws, crappy officials, or missed shots at the end. Look at Virginia last year in the tournament (and look how well they've recovered from that). Last time I checked North Carolina was getting spanked on their own floor by an unranked Louisville team.

I am done with you and done giving you second chances to pull your head out of your a$$. Time and time and time again you've shown yourself to be a bigger fan of one man than you are of the team or program. I would rather be confined to reading the HawkReport.com message board for eternity than ever read another post from you ever again.

What does KSU pay Weber to do? And for how long have they been paying him?

Other kids are on scholarship too. The other coaching staff are professionals too. Have some class and gain some perspective.

We really struggle to hit clutch free throws at the end of the game. What did we have 3 1-1 and missed all three at the end of the game. Great players step up to the line and knock down FT's to seal the game, it was a problem last year, and continues to be this year.

Prohm is not a good tactician. That’s part of the problem. Offense In half court seems to be ball screen and if that doesn’t work then try to take your man one on one.

I hate to say it but with this coaching staff ...we might never to be able to beat KState type teams at home or on the road......Lindell cant make free throws but Barry Brown can and thats why we LOST...Oh yeah and playing NO defense didnt help either....

Is this a serious post? Go back and read it again.

You're saying this coaching staff will never beat KSU because our player misses FT's and their's makes them? That is why this coaching staff sucks? Ok.

Team got hot VS Kansas and thought they have arrived. Outside of that game they haven't done ****. VS any team with a heartbeat they got out played. This team is soft mentally and physically. It's a real shame bc there is a lot of talent.

The team certainly has talent but we're getting a LOT of minutes from freshman. Unseasoned talent is going to lead to some issues.

If Halliburton, Horton-Tucker, and Conditt we're ready day 1 to play good minutes they probably wouldn't have ended up at Iowa State.

I appreciate your take on Prohm, as opposed to the "fire Prohm" rants. I happen to agree with the tactician take, and I'm hopeful it will improve.

This was kind of the start of conference play I envisioned though bc of bringing 4 guys back so late. It takes time to not only get the players to get but for the guys to get their legs back under them.
